It’s animal print and it’s a harem pant jumpsuit. Seriously, need we say more?
Actually yes, because this particular specimen does have one thing working in its favour. It’s currently on sale. So, if you feel you could work this look, you can buy it reduced from £25 to £20 from Dorothy Perkins.

Remember when supermarket chain Tesco announced they were banning people from wearing pyjamas or dressing gowns in their stores? We figure that makes for a pretty good litmus test to help you work out how sloppy or otherwise your outfit is. We call it the “Would They Let You Wear It In Tesco Test”, and basically, if you think you’d probably be turned away from the supermarket in it, well, it’s probably a good sign that you might want to think about getting changed.
The important thing to remember here, however, is that it’s not just ACTUAL nightwear that could get you chucked out of Tesco. The pants and shirt above, for instance, are designed by What Goes Around Comes Around, and are NOT pyjamas. No, these are intended as daywear, and they have the price-tags to match. Would they let you wear them in Tesco, though? We think not. Would you WANT to wear them in Tesco – or anywhere else other than the comfort of your bed, for that matter? If you would, you can buy all three items at ASOS.com. What do you think of them, though? Would they make you feel like you were out in your jim jams?

The title says it all, doesn’t it readers? That’s a crime of fashion, right there. We don’t know about you, but at first glance we wonder whether the detail shot of the pattern is what it is like to be on acid. That was certainly our initial thought upon spying these on the My Tights website. (Our second thought was ‘Good Lord’ and the third one ‘aha – perfect for the Fashion Police readers to deem a crime of fashion or not’.) Rainbow stripes? Zig zags? Glitter? A case of too much going on or total fabulousness? You decide. Also, why is the pattern not matched up at the side? We hate it when patterned tights look like this.
Unsurprisingly, these have been slashed to half price in the sale so if you do like them, they can be yours for £7.98 and you can buy them here.

This Marc Jacobs Acacia Jersey Cutout Dress first came to our attention when we were rounding up cut-out dress suspects a couple weeks ago. Now, whenever we see it our confusion deepens. The bright pop of color with the bold black trim grabs your attention and seems to work, and the silhouette manages to sexily show off a girl’s shape without looking too tight. But then you see the cutouts. Which appear to be more a skirt and a top fastened together at a single point in the front (that’s right, check out the back view) rather than actual cut out portions of fabric. Problems of fashion aside, we feel this would present problems of engineering! But is it a crime of fashion?

Bravo, Gemma Arterton, for bringing a touch of Hollywood-style glamour to the traditionally slightly-tacky London premiere! Doesn’t she look amazing?
As for the other celebrities who walked the red carpet at the Prnice of Persia Premiere, well, take a look and tell us what you think…

We THINK that’s an accordion inside these pants, anyway, but we’d have to ask our detective squad to investigate to be sure, because let’s face it, you could fit just about anything in there, couldn’t you?
Actually, that’s an interesting point: would you get through airport security wearing these, do you think, or would they stop you and ask you to step aside and “empty your pants” to make sure you weren’t carrying anything you shouldn’t be in them? And is it wrong of us to secretly hope we’re there when that exact scenario finally comes to pass?
